I have loaded my database onto my clients website to allow them to view, open, and/or edit documents (whose title, version details, edit dates, etc. are stored in the database). By client preference, a user is the database is downloaded (basically to use as an interface), and all the documents are stored on the extranet server, but can only be accessed via the database that the user has downloaded. For some the pathways are not accessible.
I have set default pathway (as a string) to the extranet site that can be changed at the end by the document name to access the appropriate files. So code pieces look something like this:
"mPathRoot = "http://www.extranet.organizationname/section/department/"
"GetPath = mPathRoot & strFileName"
I also tried using backward slashes to the site. Either way, Access is not able to reach any of the files, giving a message that "http://www.extranet.organizationname/section/department/AppendixA.pdf file has been moved, renamed, or deleted." If you type the file address into a web browser, it goes there immediately. Is there some sort of "go to" function I should be using instead of an OPENFILENAME structure?
Thank you in advance!
